What difference are you  seeing?  If I try 2022-11-01 it acts the same
way as the current (and older) versions


  echo '\input{docstrip}' | /usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/*/latex

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022)
(preloaded format=3Dlatex)
  restricted \write18 enabled.

L3 programming layer <2023-02-07>
(/usr/local/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/docstrip.tex


that is: \input{docstrip} finds docstrip.tex in the path.

I see for input since 2022-11-01 is
